How can I activate my Webcam USB between my physical machine and VM

I am new and with a stupid newbie question. VMware Workstation 11 is able to detect and use my Webcam on my virtual machine of Ubuntu 14.4, also a long time I disconnects the USB camera after that starts the virtual machine and reconnect again to VMware he catches before my (windows 8.1) physical machine fact.

Is there anyway I could turn off the camera on windows manually to my vm it catches and turn it back to the when I'm done with the virtual machine. I don't have to work on the PC and reconnect everything all the time. Hope it makes sense. Thank you!

You can use the menu Workstation VM-> removable devices - to connect to the virtual machine or to connect to the host. If you connect the device to the virtual computer, it is disconnected from the host. After completing your work with the virtual machine, you can disconnect from comments and connect it to the host.

  • How do to activate 'VAPP Options' on an existing virtual machine, and then add the properties that will be passed down through the OVF - ENV. XML



    I'm trying to understand vSphere PowerCLI how to activate the "Options of VAPP" on an exsiting VM (in this case a model freshly cloned) then add properties and select cdrom of the FVO data access such as when the virtual machine is running the FVO - env.xml contains the properties in the CD-ROM drive.

    If I use the vSphere client and open the virtual machine settings and click on the tab 'Options' and then select "Options of VAPP" and change the setting to "Enabled" and then select 'VAPP-> Advanced Options' and click on the button 'Properties' on the right, I can add the properties and then I can change them vsphere PowerCLI, but given that these actions are not retained if I clone the virtual machine I need a way to put these in place of vSphere PowerCLI without using the vSphere client to do.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Mike

    You can use the vSphere API to activate the 'Options of VAPP"on an existing virtual machine, and set properties. For example:

    $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

    $spec.vAppConfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.VmConfigSpec

    $spec.vAppConfig.property = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec [] (1)

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] .operation = 'Add '.

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertyInfo .info

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.key = 0

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.classId = "Property1ClassID".

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.instanceId = "Property1InstanceID".

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.id = "Property_1.

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.category = "Property1Category".

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.label = "property 1.

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.type = "string".

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.userConfigurable = $true

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.defaultValue = "Property1DefaultValue".

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.value = «»

    $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.description = "Property1Description".

    $vm = get-VM-name vm3

    $vm. ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

  • Share the reader of fingerprints between the physical Machine and VM

    I have a lenovo W541 with build - in fingerprints, how to share.

    PM with W8.1 already use it, how to use it also to open a session in OS in WM?

    Best regards

    Paolo

    Hi Paolo,.

    Also, I have a Thinkpad W541 and scratched my head on how to use the fingerprint reader, integrated runtime for example 10 Windows on a virtual machine-machine since my cell phone - and then came across this thread.

    After comparing the 'Device Manager' on my VM-machine as well as on the physical laptop I have seen that on the VM machine there was no "biometric devices" not appearing on the VM machine. Of course, I also checked the hardware VM definition dialog if there was a possibility of adding such a device, but it was not.

    So I thought that I was stuck. But I found a solution that is at least sufficient for my needs. I noticed that one of the icons on the side in the bottom right of my machine-VM running (running Windows 10) - there is an icon that has been disabled but when hovering with the mouse it will read "validity sensors sensors Synaptics PS (WBF) (PID = 0017).

    After a right-click and selecting "Connect (disconnect host)" there's a new device that appeared in the Windows Device Manager 'Unknown device' and opening than treeviewitem I clicked and chose "Install driver" and voila! Now my built-in fingerprint reader can be used when running Windows 10 under my VM workstation!

    It is not ideal because it allows to disable the fingerprint reader on the BONES of the physical machine too long that the Windows 10 VM machine is running, but I can live with that. And the good side is that Windows (?) is smart enough to automatically re-enable the drive of fingerprints on my physical machine as soon as the machine-VM is closed / stop.

    I hope this helps!

  • How can I activate the AHCI on a Studio 540?

    Hello I recently upgraded my pc to an OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB ssd hard drive and moved my old HDD as a secondary for the storage of music, pictures and video files. I read that using the SSD in AHCI mode will further improve the performance of the disk. My question is how can I activate the AHCI in bios dell. the only im options given are SATA and RAID. Is it possible to run AHCI? Any help is appreciated. I have better than average knowledge with pc, s but far from an expert. Thank you

    If your bios allows, you can find passage to the raid (even if you have only a single boot drive) can put you in ahci mode. Before making the change in the bios, you will have to do some registry tweaks like just change the bios setting you will get a bsod when you start.

    To enable switching between RAID/AHCI/IDE mode, you will need to change the values 'Start' in these key 0

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

    Once you make these changes, restart and set AHCI/raid in BIOS, save the changes and then restart.
